Lagurus ovatus
bunny tail or hare's tail grass
Soft, fur-like flowerheads, which are irresistible to the touch, make this gorgeous, tufted, annual grass ideal for sensory gardens. The flowerheads are fine additions to cut arrangements, and will dry well for longer-lasting appeal. It will also flourish in coastal settings.
